The striper bite is wide open near Verona on the Feather River. Anglers are landing quality fish day and night, with plenty of keepers in the 22–27 inch range and some pushing close to 30.
Jerkbaits are doing most of the damage, especially Berkley Stunna models and S-Wavers. Work it quickly with long pauses, as most fish are crushing baits during slack moments. White Keitechs on green jigheads are also getting hit. Most action is coming tight to the bank or just off current seams. Some stripers haven’t spawned out yet, so the bite should hold for at least another week or so.
